I am using the following code to create a widget with three inputs.
I am able to modify this code to format the widget how I want, but I then need to copy files based on the input from the fields in the widget. For example, if the user inputs 'A'
, '1'
, and 'X'
then I need to copy file A1X
from a network drive to the local drive.
I think I need to assign each input field to a variable and then I can set up a conditional to get the correct file, but I cannot figure out how to set up these variables.
from tkinter import *
fields = 'Project #', 'Reel #', 'Batch #'
def fetch(entries):
for entry in entries:
field = entry[0]
text = entry[1].get()
print('%s: "%s"' % (field, text))
def makeform(root, fields):
entries = []
for field in fields:
row = Frame(root)
lab = Label(row, width=15, text=field, anchor='w')
ent = Entry(row)
row.pack(side=TOP, fill=X, padx=5, pady=5)
lab.pack(side=LEFT)
ent.pack(side=RIGHT, expand=YES, fill=X)
entries.append((field, ent))
return entries
if __name__ == '__main__':
root = Tk()
ents = makeform(root, fields)
root.bind('<Return>', (lambda event, e=ents: fetch(e)))
b1 = Button(root, text='OK',
command=(lambda e=ents: fetch(e)))
b1.pack(side=RIGHT, padx=5, pady=5)
b2 = Button(root, text='Reset', command=root.quit)
b2.pack(side=RIGHT, padx=5, pady=5)
root.mainloop()
Here is a fixed version(assuming entries is a dictionary):
